Hadith 5960

She said: I heard God's messenger say, "No prophet becomes ill without being given his choice between this world and the next. "During his complaint of which he died he was afflicted by severe hoarseness, and I heard him say, "With those of the prophets, upright, martyrs and pious ones to whom Thou hast shown favour," so I knew that he had been given his choice. (Bukhari and Muslim.)

وَعَنْهَا قَالَتْ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسلم يَقُول: «مامن نَبِيٍّ يَمْرَضُ إِلَّا خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ الدُّنْيَا وَالْآخِرَةِ» . وَكَانَ فِي شَكْوَاهُ الَّذِي قُبِضَ أَخَذَتْهُ بُحَّةٌ شَدِيدَةٌ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ: مَعَ الَّذِينَ أَنْعَمْتَ عَلَيْهِمْ من الصديقين والنبيين وَالشُّهَدَاءِ وَالصَّالِحِينَ. فَعَلِمْتُ أَنَّهُ خُيِّرَ. مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيْهِ
